THE POLICE SCANDAL.
Some More Testimony Heard by the
Assembly Committee.
Dcmity Librarian l«ake's Statemeat-
Two IndUjnaut Car-Drivers—
Dilatory Witnesses.
' The morning session of the Committee
of Investigation on the Examiner charges
against Assemblyman Bruner, which,
■was to be held at !i o'clock a. m., did not
amount to much. Chairman Bledsoe was
in his seat with commendable punctu
ality, bttt it was not until half-past 9 be
fore a quorum of four was obtained.
Fremont Older, the Sacramento corre
spondent of the San Francisco Post, was
sworn.
To the question, "Did you have an in
terview with Mr. Brunei- last Thursday?"
he replied, "Yes. I received a telegram
about 10 o'clock that morning from the
editor of the Post that there was an ex
pose in the Examiner of that morning ac
cusing Bruner of selling a position on the
SSan Francisco police force, and with or
ders to Interview him. I watched for
-Mr. Bruner and soon saw him coming tip
to tho Capitol with his brother, i went
to meet them, Mr. Melvin of the Oakland
Tribune being with me. I showed Mr.
Bnraerthe dispatch and asked him if it
was true. He hesitated and then said:
'It is absolutely false.' I asked him if
he had written any letter recommending
any one to trach a position? 'Yes, I did!
at the instance of a city official.' I asked
him how about that certified check tor
£400? 'That is false. I never received
nor handled a cheek for £400.' I asked
him who the man was to whom he had
given the letter, and he said lie would
till me later."
On motion of Mr. Gould, and on ac
count of the continued absence of several
members of the committee, the commit
tal adjourned till 7:-' JO i\ M.
Evening Session.
When the committee met again in tbe
evening the first witness called was J. K.
Beede, manager of the Postal Telegraph
Company, who testified concerning cer
tain telegrams passing between Dick
liclau and either Daniel or Louis Jones.
Jle said ho could find no record of any
uuch dispatches.
BEPOBXEB sroWELL.
¥. W. Stowell, correspondent of the
Alt", was called, and testified that on last
Thursday he spoke to Mr. Bruner con
cerning the Examiner charges, and ho
said he did not wish to make any state
ment until he made it to tho Assembly.
Witness spoke to him again in the after
noon, and he made a similar reply, add
ing that he could fully vindicate himself.
CONCERNING Ti:r.K(iUAMS.
Joseph Sempf, manager for tho West
ern Union Telegraph Company in Sacra
mento, was asked by Chairman Bledsoe
if any telegrams had passed over his
lines between the 28th of February and
last Thursday, signed by either Dick
Belau or Daniel or Louis Jones.
Senator Carpenter here appeared and
stated that he was attorney ttorthe West
ern Union Company, and by instructions
received frem New York, he [Carpenter)
"«":is there to instruct the witness not to
answer drag-net questions, but only those
which might designate particular dis
patches, giving the dates and character
thereof. The courts had decided how em
ployes of the Western Union Company
should testify concerning its busines, and
they should rely upon their rights.
Witness Sempf was then excused until
tho next meeting of tho committee.
AJTOTKEB COKRKsrojtpEXT.
M. McMullen, correspondent of the
Call, testified that he willed upon Mr.
Bruner on last Thursday evening and
asked him concerning the charges against
him. Mr. Bruner replied that he should
make his statement to the Assembly, and
did not think it proper to say anything
then. He said be would folly vindicate
iiunseif.
TESTIMONY OP J. A. KHKEHAN".
J. A. Sheehan, reporter on the Sacra
mento Bee, testified that he Interviewed
Mr. Bruner on Thursday afternoon last.
lie said the charges against him were
false, but further than that ho believe! it
proper to lirst make his statement to tho
Assembly, as it was a matter that con
cerned him as a member of that body.
OAR-BBIVKB ISA BBEB.
B. W. Barbee, of San Francisco, a car
driver, testified that men on the Mission
street icad had been joking one another
about getting on the police force ever
since the bill to increase the number of
officers was introduced. A Cu/l reporter
was on bis car one day and told him his
name was mentioned in connection with
efforts to secure places on the force, but
that li" understood it was all a joke. Wit
ness saw a friend named Franklin and
asked him what he thought of it, and be
replied that it was a dirty trick. They
went down to the Examiner olllce that
evening, and, after waiting a long time, a
Mr. Mackoy presented himself and prom
ised that the publication should be cor
rected. No such retraction was published,
however, and witness wrote to Mr. Bru
ner—whom he had never before heard of
— informing him of what had occurred.
Witness said lie had joked with Moran
three or four days ago about getting on
the force.
Chairman Bledaoe asked him how his
attention became attracted to the police
bill, and lie said he had read of it in
the reports of the proceedings of the
Legislature.
Mr. Bruner here produced the letter lie
ivr. [ved from Barbee, and the witness
identified it. Tho latter stated that the
report in tho Kxaminer that the writer
had been approached with a proposition
to buy a place on t lie police force, was a
falsehood—that nothing of the kind bad
ever occurred, and he thought it only
justice to Mr. Bruner that he should
know it.
car-drivh: piuhelik.
Joseph Franklin, another driver on the
same road, testified that he had never
been approached to purchase a place on
the police force, us stated in the Examiner.
Mr. Barbee baa spoken to him about the
publication, and they agreed that it was
not right that their names should have
been used: so they went to the Examiner
office and demanded a retraction. None
b inu made he joined Mr. Barbee in
writing '.-> .Mr. Bruner.
Witness said lie never heard Mr.
Brunei's name mentioned in connection
with the matter until he saw the report
in the Examiner, Jones had never talked
with witness about getting on the police
force, but had luard incidentally that
.Tones and one Comiaky claimed to have
some influence in that direction. Some
ten days ayo driver Cox said Jokingly
that is' witness warned to get on the force
he had better go see Comisky.
Witness said be bad never taken any
interest in the police matter, and was
never approached by an oiler or the sale
of a place on the force. When Moran
mentioned the matter to him in a joke.
witness said he wouldn't have such s
place if it were offered him. He had
never h<aid of money being necessary
for a man to get on.
Barbee was re<-allcd. and said he never
saw either of the Joneses, and in rer
heard limner's name mentioned until he
saw it in the Examiner; never heard the
diiycrs speak of him.
OBDKB OF THE TESTIMONY.
Some discussion here arose as to the
order in which witnessesa should be
called on either side. Chairman 111
--said he himself had summoned most of
the witnesses, and he did not care par
ticularly in what order they were called.
Mr. Bruner desired to have his wit
nesses called in regular order, to which
Mr. Johnson objected, claimingthat their
witnesses had not bceii called iv the order
submitted.
Mr. Bledsoe replied that the Examiner
had abused the committee from the time
tiie investigation opened, stigmatizing it
m a whitewashing body. Under the cir
•omstances, if any favors were to be
shown, they should ho extended to the
defendant As for himself, he did net
care what the JBnHßfttersaid. If, after the
testimony wr.s all in, ho should be con
vinced of Mr. Hrimer's guilt, he should
be governed thereby, and if not, he
should vote to exonerate him.
After some further wrangling, the com
mittee derided to call, instead of Senator
Maher, Messrs. W. S. Leake and W. S.
Kendall on behalf of the prosecution.
MR. LKAKE'S TESTIMONY.
Assistant State Librarian Leaks then
testified that on last Tuesday evening he
met Mr. Brunei-, his brother, State
Printer Johnston and Win. Uovan. They
all went to the library and sat down in
witness' office, where Mr. liruner and
the other gentlemen talked over the com
ing city election. While in there a call of
the house was ordered, and Mr. Bruner
said be didn't care to lie called in there.
Shortly after tluit he stepped out of the
library and soon returned, and asked
witness to let him have $80 on a check.
Witness said lie did Dot have it, but it
occurred lo him that his wile had some
money in his safe. He got the money
from the sale, and witness asked him if
he needed any more, and .Bruner replied
that he might make it {60. Brunerbanded
him a cortincate, and witness remarked,
"Why, this is for $400." Mr. Broner re
plied, "That is all right." At Mr. Brun
ei's reapest witness sent the certificate to
the California State Bank next morning
by Clerk Longshore, and, meeting Mr.
Bruner, the latter returned him the $90
and took tiic balance.
When Mr. Bruner returned to the li
brary on the night before, he made a re
mark that indicated to witness thai he
bad gained a victory of some sort, but
witness could not remember the words.
Witness 1 mind was on a bill that had just
been defeated in which ho hrul taken
quite an interest, and thought perhaps
Mr. Bruner alluded to it. His exclama
tion and manner dimply indicated that
he had just accomplished something im
portant. Bruner did not say anything to
him about a transaction, between himself
and others.
Chairman Bledsoe questioned the wit
ness closely as to the closeness of the re
lations between himself and Bruner, and
witness replied that they had always
been good friends.
To another member of the committee
witness said he gave the money to Mr.
Bruner in the open hallway, and there
was nothing unusual in his manner.
To Mr. Galbraith witness said he and
Mr. Bruner had talked about the defeat
of the bill referred to as they went io the
library.
To Chairman Bledsoe witness said he
i had not been in Mr. Bruiser's presence
since the publication of the JSxamitier'a
'statement, lie bad b; en notified by the
bank that payment of the certificate had
: been stopped, bat he knew that could not
I bo done.
To Mr. Galbraith witness said no per
son had requested him to withdraw the
certificate from the bank.
ABSENT WITNESSES.
W. S. Kendal was called, lint did not
present himself. The names of several
j San Francisco witnesses were called, but
none of them answered, and at !• o'clock a
recess was taken for fifteen minutes to
enable those coming from the Bay to put
in an appearance.
When the committee was called to
order again tho ScrgOant-at-Arms once
more called at the door the names of the
absent witnesses, but received no re
sponse, and the Chairman asked if the
committee had not better call Mr.
I Bruner's witnesses.
Mr. Bruner asked that the testimony
for the prosecution be all taken before his
were called, ami the committee thought
that would be the proper thing to do,
j and eonmiitteeman Jackson moved that
j the committee adjourn until 7:30 this
evening.
The motion prevailed, and the crowd
j dispersed.
CARPENTER STILL DEFIANT.
He Says He Will Rot in Jail Before
Paying His Fine.
Wants to Be a Martyr—Poor, Mis
guidetl Vance—.Jlids'-' Catlin
Is Xot Vcngci'nl.
"No, sir; I'll stay here till I rot before
! I'll pay a cent of the line !"
There was a mingling of defiance and
desperation in the manner of Amos 11.
Carpenter, the fire-eating attorney of
Stockton, when he gave vent to this out
burst yesterday af the County Jail.
Carpenter seemed to be pretty badly
used up when he returned from San
I Francisco Monday night. As published
in the Record-Union, the Supreme
! Court peremptorily refused to release
Carpenter and his misguided client,
Vance, on habeas corpus. The Assembly
also refused, equally as bluntly, to have
; anything to do with the impeachment
j charges filed by Carpenter against Supe
! rior Judge Catlin, of this city, who sent
| the attorney and client to jail for con
tempt of court.
It was no wonder that Carpenter wag
broken up.
WOULD XOT PAY.
When tbe Supreme Court proceedings
were over Sheriff 1 Stanley told Carpenter
and Vance that they would not have to
go back to Sacramento if they would pay
their titles. Carpenter was fiery at the
time, and would not pay. Neither would
he allow Vance to pay. So they came back
Ito the County Jail. Before being locked
up, however. Carpenter's ardor had
cooled off considerably, and before bid
: din» him good night the Sheriff asked
j him again if he did not think it would be
wise to pay the tine. Carjienter said he
would think it over.
Yesterday, however, lie was as tem
pestous as ever when the Sheriff ap
proached him, and when asked if he in
tended to pay the tine, gave vent to the
language above quoted.
THE JTDGE MERCIFUL.
Contrary to the promptings of human
nature Judge'Catlin does not appear to
j be at all vengeful toward the irritable
Stockton attorney—despite the serious
j and vicious onslaughts made by the lat
ter upon the Judge's character"; on the
contrary, tiio Judge iia.s personllay re
quested the Sheriff to treat Carpenter and
his unfortunate client with the utmost
courtesy, and allow him as many liberties
and conveniences during their confine
ment as it is within the province of the
Sheriff to grant.
More than this, when the impeachment
charges were liled. the Judge gave the
Sheriff a written order to subpena all the
witnesses Carpenter might xsk for, go
with him altar them, if necessary, and do
all in his power to facilitate the investi
gation before the Assembly Judiciary
Committee.
But Carpenter deems himself a most
thoroughly wronged and abused citizen,
and is determined to make a martyr of
himself—and make poor Vance suffer
with him.

sary two-thirds vote to carry it.
Tho Republicans came within an ace of j
making a clean sweep. The only candi- !
date they lost was the short-term Fire !
Commissioner—J. M. Morrison defeating i
W. B. Miller by several hundred votes.
This was due, however, to the fact that
Mr. Morrison had the backing of two
parties against Mr. Miller's one.

TOTAL VOTE.
There were in all 4,501 votes east for
and ajjainst the levying of the special tax
to pay the back salaries of the police. A
two-thirds vote was required to carry the
proposition, and as will be seen by ngur-
ing, the decision of the people is that the
tax shall be levied. It would have re
quired 1,561 votes to defeat the proposi
tion, but only 1.200 were east against it.
There were 3,241 votes in favor of it.
The election was an unusually quiet
and decorous one, despite the fact that a
lively interest was taken by the candi
dates and their friends at nearly all the
polling places.
The vote was not very heavy.

The Duck Law.
There seems to be a. great deal of uncer
tainty regarding tho date of tho com-
mencement of the closed season for wild
ducks in this county, and many knights
of the trigger have, it is said, refrained
trom shooting wild fowl since the lirst of
March.
Ex-Supervisor Tebbets is, however,
authority for the statement that ducks
may be legally shot until the first of April;
hence, the sportsman need net yet hang
up his favorite Parker, or other class of
weapon.

Mayor Comstock received a letter from
Senator Leland Stanford yesterday, ac
knowledgiug the receipt of the Mayor's
Utter asking that the Pivsident be in

lord assures the Mayor thai he will pre
sent the matter to tho President person
